...after eleven long years, the zeal to build a brave new India is cooling. The national leadership, from Nehru down to the lowliest babu, seems more tired than inspired. The ruling Congress Party politicos, in their 60s and 70s, seem reluctant to make way for younger men. Corruption, cynicism and maladministration have dulled the nation's spirit. India still produces more babies than it does food to feed them. (Its population increases at the rate of about 5,000,000 a year, nullifying all gains in agricultural productivity.) Money that could help prop the economy goes into the military...
...Democrats turned a brave face to their changed situation. "Our primary issue is the country's welfare, and we are happy that through the course of events some of the issues, which once seemed so important, are now in the process of disappearing." said Florida's George Smathers, chairman of the Senate Democratic Campaign Committee.

As edited by Archaeologist-Author J. Eric S. Thompson, it makes a great story...
Faubus' landslide raised points far more serious than politics. A Federal Court of Appeals is reviewing Federal Judge Harry J. Lemley's decision to delay for 2½ years integration at Little Rock Central High; if the delay is refused, it will take a brave Negro to claim his rights at school's opening. Most Arkansans also expect trouble in the seven other communities that have already begun integration. In seven Southern states-Alabama, Florida. Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina and Virginia-there is no integration at all, and the newly emboldened anti-integration forces are waiting...
